Electrospinning : Fundamentals, Methods, and Applications

Unique resource highlighting new methods and emerging applications of electrospinning, such as manufacturing of nanofiber yarn, solar steam generation, thermoelectric generators, water-induced electric generators, actuators, and biomedical applications.

Electrospinning introduces the basic principles and state-of-the-art methods of electrospinning in depth and continues on to highlight the most relevant and recent applications associated with the remarkable features of nanofibers.

Written by two highly qualified authors with significant experience in the field, Electrospinning includes information on:

• History and development of the electrospinning theories and the state-of-the-art methods for fiber structure regulation, mass production of electrospun fibers, and manufacturing of electrospun fiber yarns
• Electrospinning nanofiber-based evaporators for interfacial solar-driven steam generation and preparation and application of electrospun nanofibers in heat insulation
• Research progress on sound absorption of electrospun fibrous materials and electrospun nanofiber-based triboelectric nanogenerator
• Preparation and application of thermoelectric materials and devices based on electrospun fibers and electrospun nanofiber-based water-induced electric-generation

Providing a comprehensive overview of electrospinning, including the principle, methods, and latest applications, Electrospinning is an essential resource for materials scientists, polymer chemists, chemists in industry, electrochemists, catalytic chemists, and electronics engineers.
